Tax Credit Financing (SR&ED, FTC,
OIDMTC, etc.)
Financing refundable tax credits* gives you funds for money you have
already spent, months before the government pays you.
Post-File Tax Financing
Acorn Partners can give you funds against
the anticipated value of your refundable tax claim so you can use the
money for your business operations today.
By having those
funds available immediately, rather than in the future, you can focus
on using your money to grow your business today and not tomorrow.
Pre-Filed
SR&ED Claim Financing
Acorn is exclusive in its ability to give
companies money prior to filing their SR&ED claim. Companies
who have a history of successfully filing claims in previous years can
receive funds against their R&D expenses on a quarterly or
semi-annual basis, months before they finalize and file their claim.
We will also consider financing a
company’s first-time claim on a pre-filed basis.

Other
Tax Refunds
If you have
other refundable tax credits, contact us to see if your tax refund is
eligible for pre-payment by Acorn, rather than waiting until the
government settles with you. (Minimum refundable tax credits for
“Other” taxes may apply, e.g., GST, must be over
$25,000 for us to consider financing these claims.)

Accounts
Receivable Financing
Accounts Receivable
Financing
gives you immediate cash against invoices you have sent your clients
without waiting for the 30, 60 or 90 days it may normally take to
receive payment from customers.
As part
of the added-value service, Acorn Partners will manage your
receivables, performing credit checks on your clients, managing
delinquency and insuring your invoices and accounts against bad debt
losses freeing up your staff to address other financial or
administrative issues.
As a
selling edge, you could extend credit terms to clients beyond what your
competitors are giving them while enjoying the profits your sales the
day you invoice your clients.
By giving
you cash the day you invoice your client, you can use those funds to
grow your business today without waiting for your client to mail
payment to you a month or two later.

how Acorn’s Receivable Financing solutions can help you focus
on
your business and not on your client’s payment habits.

Angel Funding (another form of equity)
Acorn Partners
can structure an Angel Funding solution under specific criteria.
In order for a
company to be considered eligible for Acorn’s Angel funding
solution we must initially provide you with working capital using one

angels expecting a return based on a royalty revenue model rather than
the traditional equity model.
In order to be
considered, your company must meet the following, minimal requirements:
1. Able to
support the established minimum internal rate of return (IRR)
2. Management
must be fully qualified in their roles
3. Well-prepared
presentation and business plan (with realistic cash flow)
If your company
meets all of the above qualifications and you are interested in seeing
how Acorn can assist you with this solution, click here.
